Where is everybody? I'll just leave these comments here:

1) We sure are watching a lot of perfectly good fastballs over the center of the plate.
2) Christie Fields really freaking caked on that makeup, and
3) I'm pretty sure Bill Brown and I have the same tie.

As to #1, it's amazing: this dude is feeding em hitable fastballs, but they're just watching or sometimes swinging through. Hopefully, it will change. 

Oh, and Ashby sucks.

Tucker certainly does hit the ball hard.

Yes, nice to see a batter besides Altuve who graciously accepts meaty fastballs.

His ABs are not looking real good.

Hopefully, George will at least drive in the run.

Everybody has figured out that once you get two strikes on Marisnick all you have to do is throw the ball in the dirt and you've got him.

Why is Hernandez still in the game?

ETA: That was a nice play on that come-backer, but still...

"Marisnick did all he can on the play."  Ashby is a dumbass. Little forward momentum, slow transfer and an off-line throw. Other than, he did it all he could.

Nice job by Fields to limit the damage to one.

I think Ashby may have meant that in the "bless his heart" way.

Bottom of the order fireworks. Very encouraging. A nice AB by Carter also.

Not swinging at non-strikes is a good idea.

One of Ashby's bad habits is habitually praising empty swings. Helleva swing there, Brownie. Got lots of air.

You have to use diagonalization to count Ashby's bad habits.

Tucker does not seem all that terribly impressed with Major League Baseball.

Neshek rolls through the heart of their lineup with a very poised assist by Altuve on the turn.

I can't remember when I've been more confident in a middle reliever than I am in Neshek.

I've been very confident in the bullpen for the past three years, just not in a good way.
